"Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You."
Psalm 143:8

Be Here Long

I miss helping him. Holding his hand. Having him hold me. Those sweet little arms around my neck. That crazy smile that lit up his face and mine. That quiet giggle or wild laugh. Inquisitive eyes. Curious hands feeling for what he couldn't see. I miss all of him.

Lyrics:

Close my eyes and think of you
Go to sleep and dream of you
We don't get to be here long
I gave you the best of me
Loved you more than anything
But we don't get to be here long
We don't get to be here long

Though my heart may be in pieces
My eyes are still set on you
And though I can't keep it together
I know that you'd want me to

Oh, I'm swimming in the grief
And there's no anchor that could hold me down
I don't want any relief
'Cause I don't wanna let you go right now

Close my eyes and think of you
Go to sleep and dream of you
We don't get to be here long
I gave you the best of me
Loved you more than anything
But we don't get to be here long

Oh, your moments were a charity
They gave me more than I could lose
Yeah, I know you found the promise land
But I'm still here and I'm missing you

What began as updates of William's daily life as seen through the eyes of his mother: about deafness and learning to hear with cochlear implants, blindness, breathing issues, mobility, and more...became one family learning to walk through their deepest sorrow when William flew home to heaven on October 18, 2015.
